    The Righte Prayer Partner

    Not an English sentence! Congratulations, you just spoke in tongues!:rolleyes: Your gibberish seems to ignore the fact that 2 of my 4 cases feature a non-Pentecostal prayer partner and example (3) even features a Catholic exorcist succeeding where 2 Charismatic deliverance ministers failed! So...

    On being a Saint

    Here is a summary of the process by which Catholics with a reputation for the highest level of holy living get canonized as saints: The Process of Canonization for Catholic Saints The decision to label super-spiritual believers as unique "saints" bothers me for 4 reasons: (1) In my view the...

    My Journey through the Lens of Paranormal and Charismatic Experiences

    Yes, and as this thread will demonstrate, my exercise of "the word of knowledge" has been mightily used "for His purposes," as have spiritual gifts operating through our prayer group to routinely perform mighty miracles.

    Resurrection vs. Reincarnation--what are the differences?

    The Bible implies the doctrine of the preexistence of the soul, not reincarnation: 1. “Why was this man born blind, because of his own sins or (John 9:1-2)…The disciples’ question implies a belief that the man might have...

    My Journey through the Lens of Paranormal and Charismatic Experiences

    But application of "the word of knowledge' can be a learning curve. (5) After this experience, my first exercise of “the word of knowledge” was the inner knowing that my future career would be aided by being honored for the highest GPA in my province in my senior year… A few years ago, my...

    My Journey through the Lens of Paranormal and Charismatic Experiences

    (4) THE SPIRITUAL HIGHLIGHT OF MY LIFE: MY SPIRIT BAPTISM At age 16 I was so nagged by doubts about the reliability of Scripture and the authenticity of charismatic manifestations in church that my faith crisis prompted me to spend a week at Manhattan Beach Camp near Ninette, Manitoba with the...

    Jesus' Life: Evidence from Outside Our Gospels

    2. THE NAZARETH TABLET INSCRIPTION The Nazareth inscription is a tablet from the emperor, warning that the penalty for grave robbing is death. Most scholars date it to the time of Claudius (c. 41 AD). In 1878 it was initially brought to Nazareth, Jesus' home town. If Claudius is indeed the...

    The Gift of Tongues: its General Availability, Purpose, and Power

    Notice how Dave now seeks to distract attention away from the decisive biblical refutation that speaking in tongues is not for today! Dave L: "The 120 were a different group at a different time and place if you read closely." Wrong! The number of seekers "in constant prayer" in the Upper...

    The Gift of Tongues: its General Availability, Purpose, and Power

    Dave: So you reject Acts 2 as God's Word because you don't believe its witness to the 120 speaking languages understood by the witnesses. Wow!

    When is 'Speaking in Tongues', true versus false.

    Notice how every time I refute Dave with God's Word, he babbles on in human wisdom, always refusing to specifically address the Word I quote him. He rejects all challenges to get into the Word and discuss it because he has nothing to offer in his defense.

    The Gift of Tongues: its General Availability, Purpose, and Power

    REPLY TO THE OBJECION THAT MODERN SPEAKING IN TONGUES IS NEVER A MODERN LANGUAGE Modern speaking in tongues can at times express modern languages. (1) In his awe-inspiring book "Jesus in Beijing," NYT reporter David Aikman reports a message in tongues in Hebrew in a Pentecostal church in...

    The Gift of Tongues: its General Availability, Purpose, and Power

    Are you the Pope? How can you be so arrogant that you dismiss Pearl's tongues experience as unscriptural without even offering biblical grounds? And Peal, note carefully that, as usual, Dave ducks my 5-point biblical refutation of his bogus anti-tongues rationale But I'm not finished with him...

    The Gift of Tongues: its General Availability, Purpose, and Power

    Enoch: "Those who speak in tongues will insist that they are genuine. But we can see that the gift of modern tongues has been a divisive issue, whereas the Holy Spirit in truth wishes to unite believers." "Do you think I have come to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division...

    When is 'Speaking in Tongues', true versus false.

    You have forever been trying in vain to pull an anti-Pentecostal rabbit out of your HAT. So I guess I'll just have to repeat my refutations, so that readers at least can see the anti-intellectual game you're playing. But first I'll just have to rub your nose in the texts you keep ducking with...

    When is 'Speaking in Tongues', true versus false.

    Dave L: "You can dodge the truth but you cannot refute it without scripture." I have repeatedly refuted you with Scripture and you have had nothing to say about the texts I d\iscuss because you have no answer to the scholarly consensus, not just the Pentecostal consensus. Dave L: "You reflect...

    When is 'Speaking in Tongues', true versus false.

    Have you even bothered to read my testimony in my tongues thread? If you are honest enough to learn about experiences you haven't had and judgmentally condemn, you would realize that my outpouring of tongues saved me from agnosticism and set my heart on fire to witness to power of the Gospel...
